This Christmas, Neverland at Kenwood is making its London debut. From 21 November to 3 January, the historic grounds of Kenwood House will be transformed into an immersive outdoor light trail inspired by J.M. Barrie's timeless story of Peter Pan. Culture Creative, who previously staged an indoor Neverland at Blenheim Palace, now bring their magical expertise to Hampstead Heath.

The trail is the first of its kind in the UK and is inviting visitors to step into Barrie's world of pirates, fairies and childhood adventures. You'll follow Tinkerbell's sparkling path, from the rooftops of London through the Darling family home, past a glowing Big Ben, and deep into Neverland. Along the way, you'll stumble upon the Lost Boys' hideout, the eerie glow of Skull Rock and Captain Hook's legendary pirate ship, all brought vividly to life through a mix of spectacular lighting, storytelling and atmospheric soundscapes. Throughout the experience, guests can also warm up with hot chocolates, mulled drinks and delicious street food.

Neverland at Kenwood is also a project with a purpose. In 1929, J.M. Barrie donated the rights to Peter Pan to Great Ormond Street Hospital, and the trail continues that legacy: £1 from every ticket sold will go directly to GOSH Charity, helping to fund vital support for seriously ill children and their families.

Neverland at Kenwood runs from 21 November 2025 to 3 January 2026. Tickets start from £20 and are available here.
